THE MISSION TO SEAFARERS |
| The Mission to Seafarers, a ministry of the
Anglican Church, operates in hundreds of ports throughout the world. In
the Diocese of Willochra, there are Mission to Seafarer Stations at Port
Pirie and Port Lincoln. They provide recreational facilities, counseling
and assistance with a range of work-related and personal
problems for seafarers of all nationalities and faiths. |
| At the Mission, the
Chaplain or other volunteers give a welcome to South Australia and
advice on a whole range of things. The seafarers can change foreign
money, buy telephone cards and phone home from the mission. At The Port
Pirie Station, access to the Internet is another contact with home which
the sailors enjoy. The television and DVD with foreign language CDs,
table tennis, snooker and dartboards provide entertainment.
|
| The Mission Stations in
Port Lincoln and Port Pirie are able to operate only because of the work
of dedicated teams of volunteers and donations from the local
communities – individuals, businesses and service organisations, and
congregations throughout the diocese.
